A Genealogy of the Divine

  From Ped’nryth the drummer, to the Consorts of air, to Uv’ra the Mother, to Kesh the Great, to Luneth the fair

  From the syncopation of Ped’nryth is Desmos the Dragon

  The den gods of the Consorts are the smoke, flames, breaths, and dust

  The den gods of Uv’ra are you and I, but only the King holds this title*

  The den gods of Kesh are the Winged Rings

  The den gods of Luneth are Fae and Apparition

  The den gods of Desmos are his spawn: Typhon of Beasts and Tiamat of Catastrophe, and the Lords of Cruelty and Apexes of Chaos

  Every creature with a soul has a heartbeat, and so all pay tribute to Ped’nryth
